On a compounded basis, this means the Dow Jones Industrial Average is doubling roughly every 10 years.</p>\n<p>But investors may not have to wait a full decade to see their initial investment double in value.

For those wondering, CRM software is used by consumer-facing businesses to enhance client relationships and boost sales.</p>\n<p>The reason Salesforce is such a no-brainer outperformer has to do with its dominant market share in global CRM. When IDC analyzed global CRM spending in the first half of 2020, it found that Salesforce gobbled up just shy of 20% of all sales. That's more than its four closest competitors, combined.

Comprised of 30 profitable and time-tested companies, the Dow Jones is the perfect example of how buy-and-hold investing can make investors rich.\nOver the trailing 50 years, the Dow has averaged an annualized return of about 7.5%. On a compounded basis, this means the Dow Jones Industrial Average is doubling roughly every 10 years.\nBut investors may not have to wait a full decade to see their initial investment double in value. The following four Dow stocks all have the potential to double investors' money over the next seven years, or perhaps even sooner.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSalesforce\nOf the Dow's 30 components, the one I believe offers the best chance to double investors' money in seven years or less is cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) software provider Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM). For those wondering, CRM software is used by consumer-facing businesses to enhance client relationships and boost sales.\nThe reason Salesforce is such a no-brainer outperformer has to do with its dominant market share in global CRM. When IDC analyzed global CRM spending in the first half of 2020, it found that Salesforce gobbled up just shy of 20% of all sales. That's more than its four closest competitors, combined. It's the clear go-to platform for CRM, which is a sustainable double-digit growth opportunity as businesses digitize their operations.\nSalesforce has also done an excellent job of making earnings-accretive acquisitions. CEO Marc Benioff has overseen the buyouts of MuleSoft, Tableau, and most recently Slack Technologies. Buying cloud-based enterprise communications platform Slack gives Salesforce another jumping-off point with which to cross-sell its products and services, while exposing the company to a broader swath of small and medium-sized businesses.\nIf Benioff's projection is accurate, Salesforce will more than double its sales in five years to $50 billion.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nUnitedHealth Group\nThe great thing about healthcare stocks is that they're highly defensive. No matter how well or poorly the U.S. economy is performing, demand for drugs, devices, and healthcare services remains relatively steady. That's why UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH) is a good bet to double investors' money over the next seven years.\nMost folks are probably familiar with UnitedHealth's insurance operations. Health insurance isn't necessarily a fast-growing segment, but it does provide strong premium pricing power and the ability to grow profitability by a mid-single-digit percentage over time. If Democrats were to remain in control of Congress for years to come, an expansion of healthcare coverage could be a boon to UnitedHealth.\nHowever, the big-time long-term growth driver for UnitedHealth is its subsidiary Optum, which is a pharmacy-benefits manager and healthcare services company. Optum handles everything from pharmacy care services to data analytics for hospitals and healthcare organizations. Optum's sales are growing considerably faster than UnitedHealth's insurance segment, and its operating margins should be superior.\nWith sustainable sales growth of around 10% and a growing dividend, UnitedHealth Group could be just what the doctor ordered.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nWalgreens Boots Alliance\nAnother healthcare stock with all the tools needed to double investors' money by 2028 or earlier is pharmacy chain Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ:WBA). Even though Walgreens and its pharmacy peers were clobbered by reduced foot traffic during the pandemic, the company's multipoint turnaround plan should have its business humming along in no time.\nAccording to management, Walgreens is ahead of schedule on the cost-saving front. The company expects to have reduced its annual operating expenses by at least $2 billion in fiscal 2022. All the while, significant investments are being made in Walgreens' digitization initiatives, which were accelerated during the pandemic. Although direct-to-consumer sales still take a back seat to in-store purchases, online sales should be a sustainable rapid growth opportunity for the company.\nArguably the most exciting aspect of Walgreens' turnaround strategy is its partnership with VillageMD.

Since most in-store clinics can only handle very simple tasks, such as vaccines, this initiative could be the key to drawing in repeat customers and funneling them to Walgreens' high-margin pharmacy.\nAt 10 times forward-year earnings per share, Walgreens Boots Alliance is currently one of the cheapest Dow stocks.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nVisa\nLast but not least, payment processing giant Visa (NYSE:V) can charge higher over the next seven years and double your money.\nThe beauty of the Visa operating model is that it's cyclical. Despite recessions being a normal part of the economic cycle, they often only last a few months or a couple of quarters. By comparison, periods of economic expansion typically go on for years, or even a decade. Visa is able to roll with the punches for a few quarters during a recession, but benefits immensely from disproportionately long periods of economic growth.\nVisa is also the most dominant player in the No. 1 market for consumption in the world: The United States.

With that being the case, not only do we think proposed goals about the timeline are likely misguided, but we're not holding out hope for autonomy, either.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":225,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":814616583,"gmtCreate":1630811985942,"gmtModify":1631890024162,"author":{"id":"4087554958389370","authorId":"4087554958389370","name":"suetyee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd19cd2dd51b79773e0fab6bfd14cd60","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087554958389370","authorIdStr":"4087554958389370"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Follow","listText":"Follow","text":"Follow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/814616583","repostId":"2164808914","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":203,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":812578657,"gmtCreate":1630597487879,"gmtModify":1631890024166,"author":{"id":"4087554958389370","authorId":"4087554958389370","name":"suetyee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd19cd2dd51b79773e0fab6bfd14cd60","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087554958389370","authorIdStr":"4087554958389370"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/812578657","repostId":"1137889591","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1137889591","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1630594672,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1137889591?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-02 22:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Netflix gains 2.6% as Citi raises target on pricing power","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1137889591","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Netflix(NASDAQ:NFLX)is 2.6% higher today and tagged its all-time high, on the cusp of crossing $600/","content":"<ul>\n <li>Netflix(NASDAQ:NFLX)is 2.6% higher today and tagged its all-time high, on the cusp of crossing $600/share, after Citi boosts its price target to $595 from $570.</li>\n <li>That's due to confidence in the streamer's pricing power, which is leading to higher revenue estimates.

But should producer and consumer prices spike, not all stocks will be impacted equally.</p>\n<p>Generally speaking, companies with strong pricing power that are able to pass on the higher production costs to consumers will likely outperform. This is a point that Mad Money’s Jim Cramer has made recently. Here is his quote:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “When you try to think of what’s working in this market... I want you to ask yourself, would you be insensitive to a price increase if the company put one through? [What are] the companies that can raise prices without infuriating you?

Here are three ways to play the space without drilling for oil.","content":"<p>The world is focused on reducing carbon emissions, and the energy sector is filled with low-hanging fruit in that effort. That means oil drillers are in society's crosshairs. But there's a complex chain in the sector that gets these fuels from the ground to where they are eventually used. And since demand for oil, even in the most optimistic clean energy projections, is expected to remain material for years to come, there is still investment merit in the energy space -- if you focus on the right niche. Here are three high-yield pipeline owners that deserve close attention today.</p>\n<h2>1. Shifting gears</h2>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EPD\">Enterprise Products Partners LP</a></b> (NYSE:EPD) is a midstream-focused master limited partnership. It offers an 8.3% distribution yield backed by 22 consecutive annual increases. The company owns a massive collection of largely fee-based pipelines, storage, processing, and transportation assets that would be impossible to recreate. And it has a history of being financially conservative.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f925e026e50f218a4514186905c38b7c\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"484\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<p>What's interesting about <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EFSC\">Enterprise</a> today is its increasing focus on chemicals and refining. Nearly 80% of its $3.1 billion capital spending plan will be spent in these two spaces. It is going down this road because it expects demand for these products to continue growing for years to come. Meanwhile, it has material exposure to natural gas, which is expected to see increased demand as the world shifts away from coal. In other words, Enterprise is positioning itself to support the most desirable energy niches. But the anti-carbon sentiment in the market has helped to put downward pressure on its units, pushing its yield is toward the high end of its historical range, suggesting shares are relatively cheap. In fairness, there are other negatives to consider here, including meager distribution growth of late and the complexity of the MLP structure, but with such a large yield investors are being well compensated for these wrinkles given Enterprise's long and successful history.</p>\n<h2>2. Similar, but different</h2>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/KMI\">Kinder Morgan</a></b> (NYSE:KMI) shares many traits with Enterprise, as it, too, owns midstream infrastructure that is irreplaceable. And with a similar toll-taking business model, the ups and downs of energy prices aren't a huge deal. That said, Kinder Morgan had historically taken a more aggressive approach with its balance sheet. That got the company in trouble in 2016 when it was forced to cut its dividend so it could put that cash to use on growth projects. Income investors that prize consistency will probably be more comfortable with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the other names here.</p>\n<p>But Kinder Morgan has made great strides to win investors back. It has returned to dividend growth, increasing its disbursement annually since 2018. It has also worked to reduce its reliance on debt, trimming its debt-to-EBITDA ratio from over 9 times to just 5.1 times (for reference, Enterprise's debt to EBITDA ratio is roughly 4 times). In other words, it's a bellwether name trying to mend its ways. With a 6.8% yield, investors with a bit more risk tolerance might find it of interest. Notably, it is not an MLP, which might appeal to investors that prize simplicity.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1bb0aa616318ab90c96986ea3d09a446\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>EPD Financial Debt to EBITDA (TTM) data by YCharts</p>\n<h2>3. Getting ready for the future</h2>\n<p>The last name here is Canadian midstream giant <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ENB\">Enbridge</a></b> (NYSE:ENB), which, like Enterprise and Kinder Morgan, owns a massive collection of energy infrastructure assets. Its oil and natural gas pipelines make up 54% and 29% of EBITDA, respectively. The rest of the business is made up of a natural gas utility (14% of EBITDA) and renewable power (3%). Clearly, moving oil and natural gas are at the core of the company's business, but it is also shifting in other directions. Specifically, natural gas is displacing dirtier oil, among other higher-cost options, for home heating in its utility operation, and the company is busy building offshore wind farms in Europe that should grow its clean energy bonafides over time.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/56cfeff13bf25fc351416e2d6391bbda\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>EPD Dividend Per Share (Quarterly) data by YCharts</p>\n<p>Enbridge has a history of using leverage more aggressively than peers, so investors should monitor its balance sheet. However, the company has increased its dividend annually for 26 consecutive years, suggesting it has managed leverage well over time.</p>\n<p>Looking forward, the company believes it has enough capital spending opportunities to support 5% to 7% distributable cash flow growth for many years to come. The dividend will likely increase at a similar rate. Offering a 7.1% yield, dividend growth investors will probably find Enbridge the most interesting name here. That said, as a Canadian company, there are tax withholding issues to consider, and exchange rates impact what U.S. investors receive in the way of dividends.</p>\n<h2>This change will take time</h2>\n<p>There is no question that the energy sector is in a transitional period, with the end goal being an increase in the use of clean energy. But the shift will take years to complete, and midstream giants Enterprise, Kinder Morgan, and Enbridge all have robust businesses to support big yields today and in the days ahead. If you want to put some cash to work in dividend-paying stocks, each is worth a closer look.</p>\n<p>Enterprise is probably the best option for conservative folks. Kinder Morgan might be attractive to those willing to excuse past transgressions given improved recent performance. And Enbridge is a good alternative for dividend growth investors that want a bit of a clean energy hedge.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Got $5,000?

Its oil and natural gas pipelines make up 54% and 29% of EBITDA, respectively. The rest of the business is made up of a natural gas utility (14% of EBITDA) and renewable power (3%). Clearly, moving oil and natural gas are at the core of the company's business, but it is also shifting in other directions. Specifically, natural gas is displacing dirtier oil, among other higher-cost options, for home heating in its utility operation, and the company is busy building offshore wind farms in Europe that should grow its clean energy bonafides over time.\n\nEPD Dividend Per Share (Quarterly) data by YCharts\nEnbridge has a history of using leverage more aggressively than peers, so investors should monitor its balance sheet. However, the company has increased its dividend annually for 26 consecutive years, suggesting it has managed leverage well over time.\nLooking forward, the company believes it has enough capital spending opportunities to support 5% to 7% distributable cash flow growth for many years to come. The dividend will likely increase at a similar rate. Offering a 7.1% yield, dividend growth investors will probably find Enbridge the most interesting name here. That said, as a Canadian company, there are tax withholding issues to consider, and exchange rates impact what U.S. investors receive in the way of dividends.\nThis change will take time\nThere is no question that the energy sector is in a transitional period, with the end goal being an increase in the use of clean energy. But the shift will take years to complete, and midstream giants Enterprise, Kinder Morgan, and Enbridge all have robust businesses to support big yields today and in the days ahead. If you want to put some cash to work in dividend-paying stocks, each is worth a closer look.\nEnterprise is probably the best option for conservative folks. Kinder Morgan might be attractive to those willing to excuse past transgressions given improved recent performance. And Enbridge is a good alternative for dividend growth investors that want a bit of a clean energy hedge.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":254,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":835648443,"gmtCreate":1629715612582,"gmtModify":1631892089297,"author":{"id":"4087554958389370","authorId":"4087554958389370","name":"suetyee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd19cd2dd51b79773e0fab6bfd14cd60","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087554958389370","authorIdStr":"4087554958389370"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/835648443","repostId":"1197147762","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":144,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":832640941,"gmtCreate":1629626877383,"gmtModify":1631892089299,"author":{"id":"4087554958389370","authorId":"4087554958389370","name":"suetyee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd19cd2dd51b79773e0fab6bfd14cd60","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087554958389370","authorIdStr":"4087554958389370"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/832640941","repostId":"1133515985","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":180,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":836446221,"gmtCreate":1629518253263,"gmtModify":1631892089303,"author":{"id":"4087554958389370","authorId":"4087554958389370","name":"suetyee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd19cd2dd51b79773e0fab6bfd14cd60","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087554958389370","authorIdStr":"4087554958389370"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/836446221","repostId":"2161149745","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2161149745","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1629498960,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2161149745?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-21 06:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bitcoin rises 5 percent to $49,106","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2161149745","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"(Reuters) - Bitcoin rose 5.01 % to $49,106.4 at 22:04 GMT on Friday, adding $2,342.1 to its previous","content":"<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e0b53399a7d28656bb2d3f7824cf0bea\" tg-width=\"200\" tg-height=\"135\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>(Reuters) - Bitcoin rose 5.01 % to $49,106.4 at 22:04 GMT on Friday, adding $2,342.1 to its previous close.</p>\n<p>Bitcoin, the world's biggest and best-known cryptocurrency, is up 77.4% from the year's low of $27,734 on Jan. 4.</p>\n<p>Ether, the coin linked to the ethereum blockchain network, rose 3.03% to $3,281.82 on Friday, adding $96.64 to its previous close.</p>\n<p>(Reporting by Radhika Anilkumar in Bengaluru;

But should producer and consumer prices spike, not all stocks will be impacted equally.</p>\n<p>Generally speaking, companies with strong pricing power that are able to pass on the higher production costs to consumers will likely outperform. This is a point that Mad Money’s Jim Cramer has made recently. Here is his quote:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “When you try to think of what’s working in this market... I want you to ask yourself, would you be insensitive to a price increase if the company put one through? [What are] the companies that can raise prices without infuriating you? Go buy their stocks.”\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>The impact to the P&L</b></p>\n<p>Are higher prices a good or a bad thing for a company’s financial performance? The answer is nuanced and depends on a few factors.</p>\n<p>Holding all else constant, higher prices also mean higher revenues (think of the formula for sales: price times quantity). If the increase in price is decoupled from an increase in product or operating costs, then the hike also helps to boost margins – thus profits as well.</p>\n<p>However, “holding all else constant” is not how the world really works. A change in price tends to have an impact on a few key variables, most important of which is demand.

It generated over $5.8 billion in sales in both years. That's a lot of money for a very successful product.</p>\n<p>But Prevnar 13 is no longer Pfizer's top-selling product. The COVID-19 vaccine BNT162b2, developed by Pfizer and <b>BioNTech</b> (NASDAQ:BNTX), generated sales of $7.8 billion in the first half of 2021 alone. Pfizer expects the vaccine will rake in $33.5 billion over the entire year. Even with the company splitting profits with BioNTech, Pfizer should conservatively make in the ballpark of $17 billion from BNT162b2 this year.</p>\n<p>Even more money could be on the way. Pfizer is busy working on its next potential COVID-19 blockbuster -- and it isn't a vaccine.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2e39eb3485964eb8dab974f72921be8b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>Stopping the coronavirus in its tracks</h3>\n<p>Pfizer has stated for a while that it wouldn't restrict its efforts to fight COVID-19 to only vaccines. It has also focused on developing potential treatments for the infectious disease. The company provided an update on <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> especially promising therapy in its second-quarter conference call last week.</p>\n<p>Protease inhibitors are a class of antiviral drugs that have been effective in treating HIV and hepatitis C. These therapies bind to protease enzymes in viruses and prevent the virus from replicating.</p>\n<p>Pfizer initiated an early stage clinical study evaluating oral protease inhibitor PF-07321332 in March of this year. The company had good news to report from that study in its Q2 update.</p>\n<p>Chief scientific officer Mikael Dolsten said that in the phase 1 study, PF-07321332 exceeded the level predicted to inhibit coronavirus viral replication by more than fivefold. Dolsten also stated that the experimental protease inhibitor showed powerful antiviral activity in preclinical testing that could be effective against \"all currently known COVID-19 variants.\"</p>\n<p>So far, the experimental antiviral drug appears to have a good safety profile. Dolsten said that there haven't been any safety issues in giving doses of up to 500 milligrams twice per day over a 10-day period.</p>\n<p>Based on these encouraging results, Pfizer advanced the oral protease inhibitor into phase 2/3 testing in July.

It generated over $5.8 billion in sales in both years. That's a lot of money for a very successful product.\nBut Prevnar 13 is no longer Pfizer's top-selling product. The COVID-19 vaccine BNT162b2, developed by Pfizer and BioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX), generated sales of $7.8 billion in the first half of 2021 alone. Pfizer expects the vaccine will rake in $33.5 billion over the entire year. Even with the company splitting profits with BioNTech, Pfizer should conservatively make in the ballpark of $17 billion from BNT162b2 this year.\nEven more money could be on the way. Pfizer is busy working on its next potential COVID-19 blockbuster -- and it isn't a vaccine.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nStopping the coronavirus in its tracks\nPfizer has stated for a while that it wouldn't restrict its efforts to fight COVID-19 to only vaccines. It has also focused on developing potential treatments for the infectious disease. The company provided an update on one especially promising therapy in its second-quarter conference call last week.\nProtease inhibitors are a class of antiviral drugs that have been effective in treating HIV and hepatitis C. These therapies bind to protease enzymes in viruses and prevent the virus from replicating.\nPfizer initiated an early stage clinical study evaluating oral protease inhibitor PF-07321332 in March of this year. The company had good news to report from that study in its Q2 update.\nChief scientific officer Mikael Dolsten said that in the phase 1 study, PF-07321332 exceeded the level predicted to inhibit coronavirus viral replication by more than fivefold. Dolsten also stated that the experimental protease inhibitor showed powerful antiviral activity in preclinical testing that could be effective against \"all currently known COVID-19 variants.\"\nSo far, the experimental antiviral drug appears to have a good safety profile. Dolsten said that there haven't been any safety issues in giving doses of up to 500 milligrams twice per day over a 10-day period.\nBased on these encouraging results, Pfizer advanced the oral protease inhibitor into phase 2/3 testing in July. The company will evaluate PF-07321332 in five-day and 10-day treatments for individuals who have been in close contact with someone with COVID-19.\nA big market opportunity\nPfizer estimates that the addressable market for its protease inhibitor could be in the hundreds of millions of patients. That doesn't seem farfetched considering the rapid spread of COVID-19 exposure due to the delta variant.\nThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has already granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to Regeneron's (NASDAQ:REGN) antibody cocktail REGEN-COV as a treatment for hospitalized COVID-19 patients and for post-exposure prophylaxis. However, there are a few drawbacks to Regeneron's therapy.\nFirst, REGEN-COV is expensive -- more than $2,000 per dose. Second, it must be administered via infusion or subcutaneous injection. Third, the current U.S. EUA for post-exposure prophylaxis only applies to individuals who have been exposed to COVID-19 who have a high risk of developing COVID-19 and who haven't been fully vaccinated.\nPfizer's PF-07321332 would be much more convenient than REGEN-COV since it's taken orally. Although the big drugmaker hasn't given any hints about what the pricing for the antiviral therapy might be should it win EUA or approval, a lower price tag could open up a wide market that might include lower-risk individuals who are exposed to COVID-19.\nComing soon?\nThere shouldn't be a long wait for Pfizer's next potential COVID-19 blockbuster. Assuming the phase 2/3 testing goes well, the company thinks that it will be able to file for U.S. EUA in the fourth quarter of this year.\nPfizer CEO Albert Bourla said in the company's Q2 call that he's given the green light to manufacture \"significant quantities\" of the oral protease inhibitor so that large volumes of doses will be available if EUA is granted.

These companies do, however, differ quite a lot from each other in a range of metrics, including growth, valuation, and there are also differences when it comes to each company's specific risks and moat. Apple is the largest company of these in terms of profits and market capitalization, but that does not necessarily make it the best investment. In this report, we will take a look at how Apple compares versus the other FAANG members.</p>\n<p><b>Are FAANG Stocks A Good Investment?</b></p>\n<p>Looking back a couple of years, the answer is pretty clear that FAANG stocks at least<i>were</i>a good investment in the recent past:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae2b8e2b9caf99f74c28bafc10a0a872\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"484\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>With gains of 200% to 460%, these five companies easily trounced the broad market's returns over the same time, and all led to hefty gains, at least tripling an investor's money in just five years. The factors that led to these strong gains do, at least partially, still exist today. Notably, these five companies are generating compelling earnings growth, have leadership positions in the markets they address, possess strong brands that are well-received by consumers, and seem to have strong, long-term-oriented leadership teams.</p>\n<p>These factors are still in place today, which indicates that FAANG stocks could also be good investments in coming years, although investors should, even with high-quality companies, also consider a stock's valuation. Today, these companies do not look extremely cheap in most cases:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ef865eea7af4369048432a9c85d1d83\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"540\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>At 26-64x this year's expected net profits, FAANG stocks can't really be called bargains, although the above-average valuations are, at least to some degree, justified due to the above-average earnings growth that these companies do generate. In any case, I doubt that investors owning FAANG stocks today will see 200%-400%+ returns over the next five years, as this seems unlikely for each of these five stocks due to the combination of current valuations and expected earnings growth. This does, however, not mean that FAANG stocks must be bad investments or underperform the market. In fact, in recent articles, I showcased that solid or even quite attractive returns can be expected from Facebook,Amazon, and Apple, even though the 30%-50% annual returns are likely a thing of the past - that's just mathematics, as no stock can grow at that rate forever.</p>\n<p><b>What Investors Can Expect From Apple</b></p>\n<p>Apple Inc. is not the highest-growth FAANG stock at all. Its growth has been solid but not spectacular in the recent past. This isn't a large surprise, as there is only a certain number of consumers that want to buy an iPhone or an iPad, and that amount can't grow by 50% a year for a very long time. Nevertheless, due to some market growth, some price increases, and growth from its services business, Apple should still be able to deliver sizeable revenue growth in the long run. New products such as the car project are a potential wildcard, but at least for the foreseeable future, this will not be a major profit center for the company. Apple also has a very ambitious shareholder return program, and its buybacks are an important factor for its future earnings per share growth. I believe that, overall, a high-single-digit earnings per share growth rate will be very much achievable for Apple in the long run. Combined with some multiple depression that I expect in coming years, as Apple will likely not trade at a high-20s earnings multiple forever, this gets me to a total return estimate in the 7% range. This is significantly less compared to what investors saw over the last couple of years, but on the other hand, 7% annual returns stemming from a strong, stable blue-chip stock such as Apple are not unattractive. I believe that some of the FAANG stocks could deliver stronger returns, primarily Alphabet and Facebook.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Facebook</b></p>\n<p>Both Apple Inc. and Facebook have a great market position, but Facebook is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple. Apple has, in the smartphone industry, a market share of around 20%, although more in the higher-end segments. Facebook, for comparison, owns four out of the top five social media networks, with Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp. Clearly, FB absolutely dominates its industry. Facebook's industry is also growing quicker than the hardware IT markets that Apple serves, which is why Facebook's growth was significantly higher than Apple's growth in the recent past:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8fd8043ca75dcb2c38f5ffa427c8c0b9\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Facebook grew its revenue by well above 300% over the last five years, while Apple's revenue grew by a little less than 50%. When we look back at the total return chart at the beginning of this article and compare it to this revenue chart, we see that Apple's returns stemmed from multiple expansion to a large degree, whereas Facebook's stock actually got less expensive over the last five years. Facebook's business growth clearly outpaced its share price gains, which has made its shares less expensive. This also explains why Facebook, today, trades below the long-term median earnings multiple, whereas Apple's valuation is at the higher end of the historic range:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3d49e0007aa77608b2992a9fef2142d\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The fact that Facebook trades at a historic discount points to a solid entry price, whereas the same can't be said about Apple. On top of that, Facebook will also grow much faster in the future - at least if the analyst community is correct:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6b16c9b3e2eac182d42686bcd8a98fc5\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"515\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>While Apple is expected to see revenue growth of around 10% over the next two years, Facebook is expected to grow by 40% over the same time. Facebook's earnings per share growth estimate is also materially higher than that of Apple.</p>\n<p>To sum things up, we can say that Facebook is growing much faster, is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple, and its shares are trading at a discount compared to the historic average, whereas Apple's shares are historically expensive. This combination makes me believe that the total return outlook for Facebook is better compared to that of Apple.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Alphabet</b></p>\n<p>When we compare Apple to Alphabet, the comparison is relatively similar to what we just saw when comparing Applet to Facebook. Alphabet is a company that is growing quicker than Apple, and that can, to a large degree, be explained by its great market position and the higher market growth rate. Online advertising is a market that has been growing quicker than the tablet or smartphone market in recent years, and the same will, I believe, be true in the foreseeable future as well.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6360514d097081c546a0ccacfbdc7af6\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Alphabet is forecasted to grow its revenue by more than 30% over the next two years, versus Apple's 10% growth. On top of that, at close to 20%, Alphabet is also expected to grow its earnings per share at a higher rate.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, despite its significantly better growth forecast, Alphabet isn't a lot more expensive compared to Apple. GOOG trades at 29x forward earnings, versus AAPL's 26x forward earnings multiple. Does it make sense for GOOG to trade at a premium of just 10%, while its expected growth is one and a half times as high as that of AAPL? You be the judge, but to me, it seems like the valuation looks better at Alphabet as long as we account for the stronger growth expectations. On top of that, with a net cash position of around $120 billion, Alphabet also has one of the best balance sheets in the world. Apple, for comparison, has a somewhat<i>smaller</i>net cash position of $80 billion, although that still makes for a very strong balance sheet, of course.</p>\n<p>All in all, we can summarize that Alphabet is growing faster today, is expected to grow significantly faster in the next two years and in the long run, has an even better balance sheet and a more dominant market position, and yet it trades at an earnings multiple that is only 10% higher than that of Apple. To me, Alphabet thus looks like the more attractive pick among these two at current prices.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Netflix And Amazon</b></p>\n<p>Looking at the last two remaining companies in the FAANG group, we see that, once again, AAPL is growing at a slower pace. Unless Facebook and Alphabet, however, both Netflix and Amazon are way more expensive than Apple.</p>\n<p>This huge valuation premium offsets, at least to some degree, the higher expected growth, which is why I believe that Netflix and Amazon do not really seem like much better picks compared to Apple:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ccc2536fa3cadf06639a89e0b211b9a\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>AMZN and NFLX trade at PEG ratios of 1.8 and 1.9, which does not represent a clear discount compared to AAPL's valuation. On top of that, these two companies do not possess balance sheets that are as strong as that of Apple.</p>\n<p>Netflix, especially, looks significantly worse compared to the other FAANG members in terms of balance sheet strength and cash generation:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9d84f013051fbb00b6b488f5cfed66d4\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Netflix is the only FAANG member with a meaningful net debt position, and its free cash flows are equal to just 1% of its market capitalization. Netflix grows fast, but to me, it seems doubtful whether the current valuation is justified. Considering that more and more companies are pushing into the streaming market, including Disney (DIS), Amazon, and AT&T(NYSE:T), more competition might hurt Netflix's margins in the future. NFLX thus seems like the worst pick among the five FAANG stocks to me, as it combines a high valuation, weak cash flows, and a somewhat uncertain competitive picture, and I think that is not fully negated by its strong growth alone.</p>\n<p>Amazon has a better market position than Netflix, a better balance sheet, and its valuation, relative to its growth, is a little lower than that of Netflix. I would rate Amazon as more or less equally attractive to Apple, although the two companies are quite different from each other in terms of growth, valuation, and shareholder returns.</p>\n<p><b>Which Is The Best FAANG Stock To Buy?</b></p>\n<p>Not every investor has the same goals, thus the answer may be different depending on what you are looking for in a stock. To me, Apple seems like a solid, but outstanding pick at current prices - the business undoubtedly is strong, the balance sheet is great, shareholder returns are hefty, but the valuation seems stretched, especially when we consider how cheap shares were in the past.</p>\n<p>Alphabet and Facebook do seem like the best FAANG picks to me today, as they combine strong growth with valuations that are only marginally higher than that of Apple.

However, valuations are significantly higher than they were historically.\nI believe that some of the other FAANG stocks are better, while others are worse. AAPL seems like a solid, but not a spectacular investment at today's valuation.\n\nMagioreStock/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nArticle Thesis\nGoing with FAANG stocks, i.e. Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX), and Alphabet (GOOG)(GOOGL), has been a winning trade in recent years, as those companies delivered strong gains for their owners. These companies do, however, differ quite a lot from each other in a range of metrics, including growth, valuation, and there are also differences when it comes to each company's specific risks and moat. Apple is the largest company of these in terms of profits and market capitalization, but that does not necessarily make it the best investment. In this report, we will take a look at how Apple compares versus the other FAANG members.\nAre FAANG Stocks A Good Investment?\nLooking back a couple of years, the answer is pretty clear that FAANG stocks at leastwerea good investment in the recent past:\nData by YCharts\nWith gains of 200% to 460%, these five companies easily trounced the broad market's returns over the same time, and all led to hefty gains, at least tripling an investor's money in just five years. The factors that led to these strong gains do, at least partially, still exist today. Notably, these five companies are generating compelling earnings growth, have leadership positions in the markets they address, possess strong brands that are well-received by consumers, and seem to have strong, long-term-oriented leadership teams.\nThese factors are still in place today, which indicates that FAANG stocks could also be good investments in coming years, although investors should, even with high-quality companies, also consider a stock's valuation. Today, these companies do not look extremely cheap in most cases:\nData by YCharts\nAt 26-64x this year's expected net profits, FAANG stocks can't really be called bargains, although the above-average valuations are, at least to some degree, justified due to the above-average earnings growth that these companies do generate. In any case, I doubt that investors owning FAANG stocks today will see 200%-400%+ returns over the next five years, as this seems unlikely for each of these five stocks due to the combination of current valuations and expected earnings growth. This does, however, not mean that FAANG stocks must be bad investments or underperform the market. In fact, in recent articles, I showcased that solid or even quite attractive returns can be expected from Facebook,Amazon, and Apple, even though the 30%-50% annual returns are likely a thing of the past - that's just mathematics, as no stock can grow at that rate forever.\nWhat Investors Can Expect From Apple\nApple Inc. is not the highest-growth FAANG stock at all. Its growth has been solid but not spectacular in the recent past. This isn't a large surprise, as there is only a certain number of consumers that want to buy an iPhone or an iPad, and that amount can't grow by 50% a year for a very long time. Nevertheless, due to some market growth, some price increases, and growth from its services business, Apple should still be able to deliver sizeable revenue growth in the long run. New products such as the car project are a potential wildcard, but at least for the foreseeable future, this will not be a major profit center for the company. Apple also has a very ambitious shareholder return program, and its buybacks are an important factor for its future earnings per share growth. I believe that, overall, a high-single-digit earnings per share growth rate will be very much achievable for Apple in the long run. Combined with some multiple depression that I expect in coming years, as Apple will likely not trade at a high-20s earnings multiple forever, this gets me to a total return estimate in the 7% range. This is significantly less compared to what investors saw over the last couple of years, but on the other hand, 7% annual returns stemming from a strong, stable blue-chip stock such as Apple are not unattractive. I believe that some of the FAANG stocks could deliver stronger returns, primarily Alphabet and Facebook.\nApple Versus Facebook\nBoth Apple Inc. and Facebook have a great market position, but Facebook is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple. Apple has, in the smartphone industry, a market share of around 20%, although more in the higher-end segments. Facebook, for comparison, owns four out of the top five social media networks, with Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp. Clearly, FB absolutely dominates its industry. Facebook's industry is also growing quicker than the hardware IT markets that Apple serves, which is why Facebook's growth was significantly higher than Apple's growth in the recent past:\nData by YCharts\nFacebook grew its revenue by well above 300% over the last five years, while Apple's revenue grew by a little less than 50%. When we look back at the total return chart at the beginning of this article and compare it to this revenue chart, we see that Apple's returns stemmed from multiple expansion to a large degree, whereas Facebook's stock actually got less expensive over the last five years. Facebook's business growth clearly outpaced its share price gains, which has made its shares less expensive. This also explains why Facebook, today, trades below the long-term median earnings multiple, whereas Apple's valuation is at the higher end of the historic range:\nData by YCharts\nThe fact that Facebook trades at a historic discount points to a solid entry price, whereas the same can't be said about Apple. On top of that, Facebook will also grow much faster in the future - at least if the analyst community is correct:\nData by YCharts\nWhile Apple is expected to see revenue growth of around 10% over the next two years, Facebook is expected to grow by 40% over the same time. Facebook's earnings per share growth estimate is also materially higher than that of Apple.\nTo sum things up, we can say that Facebook is growing much faster, is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple, and its shares are trading at a discount compared to the historic average, whereas Apple's shares are historically expensive. This combination makes me believe that the total return outlook for Facebook is better compared to that of Apple.\nApple Versus Alphabet\nWhen we compare Apple to Alphabet, the comparison is relatively similar to what we just saw when comparing Applet to Facebook. Alphabet is a company that is growing quicker than Apple, and that can, to a large degree, be explained by its great market position and the higher market growth rate. Online advertising is a market that has been growing quicker than the tablet or smartphone market in recent years, and the same will, I believe, be true in the foreseeable future as well.\nData by YCharts\nAlphabet is forecasted to grow its revenue by more than 30% over the next two years, versus Apple's 10% growth. On top of that, at close to 20%, Alphabet is also expected to grow its earnings per share at a higher rate.\nNevertheless, despite its significantly better growth forecast, Alphabet isn't a lot more expensive compared to Apple. GOOG trades at 29x forward earnings, versus AAPL's 26x forward earnings multiple. Does it make sense for GOOG to trade at a premium of just 10%, while its expected growth is one and a half times as high as that of AAPL? You be the judge, but to me, it seems like the valuation looks better at Alphabet as long as we account for the stronger growth expectations. On top of that, with a net cash position of around $120 billion, Alphabet also has one of the best balance sheets in the world. Apple, for comparison, has a somewhatsmallernet cash position of $80 billion, although that still makes for a very strong balance sheet, of course.\nAll in all, we can summarize that Alphabet is growing faster today, is expected to grow significantly faster in the next two years and in the long run, has an even better balance sheet and a more dominant market position, and yet it trades at an earnings multiple that is only 10% higher than that of Apple. To me, Alphabet thus looks like the more attractive pick among these two at current prices.\nApple Versus Netflix And Amazon\nLooking at the last two remaining companies in the FAANG group, we see that, once again, AAPL is growing at a slower pace. Unless Facebook and Alphabet, however, both Netflix and Amazon are way more expensive than Apple.\nThis huge valuation premium offsets, at least to some degree, the higher expected growth, which is why I believe that Netflix and Amazon do not really seem like much better picks compared to Apple:\nData by YCharts\nAMZN and NFLX trade at PEG ratios of 1.8 and 1.9, which does not represent a clear discount compared to AAPL's valuation. On top of that, these two companies do not possess balance sheets that are as strong as that of Apple.\nNetflix, especially, looks significantly worse compared to the other FAANG members in terms of balance sheet strength and cash generation:\nData by YCharts\nNetflix is the only FAANG member with a meaningful net debt position, and its free cash flows are equal to just 1% of its market capitalization. Netflix grows fast, but to me, it seems doubtful whether the current valuation is justified. Considering that more and more companies are pushing into the streaming market, including Disney (DIS), Amazon, and AT&T(NYSE:T), more competition might hurt Netflix's margins in the future. NFLX thus seems like the worst pick among the five FAANG stocks to me, as it combines a high valuation, weak cash flows, and a somewhat uncertain competitive picture, and I think that is not fully negated by its strong growth alone.\nAmazon has a better market position than Netflix, a better balance sheet, and its valuation, relative to its growth, is a little lower than that of Netflix. I would rate Amazon as more or less equally attractive to Apple, although the two companies are quite different from each other in terms of growth, valuation, and shareholder returns.\nWhich Is The Best FAANG Stock To Buy?\nNot every investor has the same goals, thus the answer may be different depending on what you are looking for in a stock. To me, Apple seems like a solid, but outstanding pick at current prices - the business undoubtedly is strong, the balance sheet is great, shareholder returns are hefty, but the valuation seems stretched, especially when we consider how cheap shares were in the past.\nAlphabet and Facebook do seem like the best FAANG picks to me today, as they combine strong growth with valuations that are only marginally higher than that of Apple. On top of that, both Alphabet and Facebook dominate their markets. Amazon is a stock that I would rate as a solid investment at today's price, so more or less in line with AAPL, whereas Netflix seems like the weakest pick among these five to me.\nDepending on your time horizon, appetite for risk, etc. you may disagree, however - and that's perfectly fine.

But it isn’t alone. Fidelity, for instance, announced that it had attracted 1.6 million new customers under the age of 35 in the first quarter, 223% more than a year before.</p>\n<p>Under pressure from Robinhood’s zero-commission model, all of the major brokers cut commissions to zero in 2019. That opened the floodgates to a new group of customers—one that may not have as much spare cash to trade but is more active and diverse than its predecessors. And the brokers are cashing in. Fidelity is hoping to attract investors before they even have driver’s licenses, allowing children as young as 13 to open trading accounts. Robinhood is riding the momentum to an initial public offering that analysts expect to value it at more than 10 times its revenue.</p>\n<p>These new customers act differently than their older peers. For years, there was a “big gravitation toward ETFs,” says Chris Larkin, head of trading at E*Trade, which is now owned by Morgan Stanley (MS). But picking single stocks is clearly “the big story of 2021.”</p>\n<p>To be sure, equity exchange-traded funds are still doing well, as investors around the world bet on the pandemic recovery and avoid weak bond yields.</p>\n<p>But ETFs don’t light up the message boards like stocks do. Not that it has been a one-way ride for the top names. GameStop did dip in February, and Wall Street enjoyed a moment of schadenfreude. It didn’t last.</p>\n<p>“Like cicadas, meme traders returned in a wild blaze of activity after being seemingly underground for several months,” wrote Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers. Sosnick believes that the meme stocks tend to trade inversely to cryptocurrencies, because their fans rotate from one to the other as the momentum shifts.</p>\n<p>“I don’t think it’s strictly a coincidence that meme stocks roared back to life after a significant correction in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” he wrote.</p>\n<p>Sosnick considers meme stocks a “sector unto themselves,” one that he segregates on his computer monitor away from other stock tickers.</p>\n<p>Indeed, Wall Street’s reaction to the meme stock revolution has been to isolate the parts of the market that the pros deem irrational. Most short sellers won’t touch the stocks, and analysts are dropping coverage.</p>\n<p>But Wall Street can’t swat the retail army away like cicadas, or count on them disappearing for the next 17 years. Stock trading has permanently shifted. This year, retail activity accounts for 24% of equity volume, up from 15% in 2019. Adherents to the new creed are not passive observers willing to let Wall Street manage the markets.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/710e642d3b685b74f8c9dcaf46ef3e0b\" tg-width=\"968\" tg-height=\"643\"></p>\n<p>“What this really reflects is a reversal of the trends that we saw toward less and less engagement with individual companies,” says Joshua Mitts, a professor at Columbia Law School specializing in securities markets. “Technology is bringing the average investor closer to the companies in which he or she invests, and that’s just taking on new and unpredictable forms.”</p>\n<p>The swings you get can definitely make you feel some sort of way.</p>\n<p>— Matt Kohrs, 26, who streams stock analysis daily on YouTube</p>\n<p>It is now changing the lives of those who got in early and are still riding the names higher.</p>\n<p>Take Matt Kohrs, who had invested in AMC Entertainment early. He quit his job as a programmer in New York in February, moved to Philadelphia, and started streaming stock analysis on YouTube for seven hours a day.</p>\n<p>With 350,000 YouTube followers, it’s paying the bills. With his earnings from ads and from the stock, Kohrs says he can pull down roughly the same salary he made before. But he also knows that relying on earnings from stocks like this is nothing like a 9-to-5 job.</p>\n<p>“The swings you get can definitely make you feel some sort of way,” he says.</p>\n<p>Companies are starting to react more aggressively, too. They are either embracing their new owners or paying meme-ologists to understand the emoji-filled language of the new Wall Street so they can ward them off or appease them.</p>\n<p>AMC even canceled a proposed equity raise this past week because the company apparently didn’t like the vibes it was getting from the Reddit crowd. AMC has already quintupled its share count over the past year. CEO Adam Aron tweeted that he had seen “many yes, many no” reactions to his proposal to issue 25 million more shares, so it will be canceled instead of being presented for a vote at AMC’s annual meeting later this month. The company did not respond to a question on how it had polled shareholders.</p>\n<p>Forget the boardroom. Corporate policy is now being determined in the chat room.</p>\n<p>Big investors are spending more time tracking social-media discussions about stocks. Bank of America found in a survey this year that about 25% of institutions had already been tracking social-media sentiment, but that about 40% are interested in using it going forward.</p>\n<p>In the past few months, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and J.P. Morgan have all produced reports on how to trade around the retail action, coming to somewhat different conclusions.</p>\n<p>There can be “alpha in the signal,” as Morgan Stanley put it, but it can take some intense number-crunching to get there. Not all message-board chatter leads to sustained price gains, of course, and retail order flow cannot easily be separated from institutional flow without substantial data analysis. For investors with the tools to pinpoint which stocks retail investors are buying and which they are selling, J.P. Morgan suggests going long on the 20% of stocks with the most buying interest and short on the top 20% in selling interest.</p>\n<p>For now, many of the institutions buying data on social-media sentiment appear to be trying to reduce their risks, as opposed to scouting new opportunities, according to Boris Spiwak of alternative data firm Thinknum, which offers products that track social-media sentiment. “They see it as almost like an insurance policy, to limit their downside risks,” he says.</p>\n<p>For retail traders, the method isn’t always scientific. The action is sustained by a community ethos. And the force behind it is as much emotional and moral as financial.</p>\n<p>New investors say they are motivated by a desire to prove themselves and punish the old guard as much as by profits. They learn from one another about the market, sometimes amplifying or debunking conspiracy theories about Wall Street. Some link the meme-stock movement to continued mistrust of big financial institutions stemming from the 2008 financial crisis.</p>\n<p>“Wall Street brought our economy to its knees, and no one ever got in trouble for it,” says the 26-year-old Kohrs. “So, I think they view this as not only can we make money, but we can also make these hedge funds on Wall Street pay.”</p>\n<p>Claire Hirschberg is a 28-year-old union organizer who bought about $50 worth of GameStop stock on Robinhood in January after hearing about it from friends. She liked the idea, but what really got her excited about it was the reaction of her father, a longtime money manager. “He was so mad I had bought GameStop and was refusing to sell,” she says, laughing. “And that just makes me want to hold it forever.”</p>\n<p>Just like old Wall Street has rituals and codes, the new one does, too. A new investment banking employee learns quickly that you don’t wear a Ferragamo tie until after you make associate. You never leave the office until the managing director does, and you don’t complain about the hours. And the bad guys are the regulators and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and not in that order.</p>\n<p>The new trading desk—the apps that millions of retail traders now use and the message boards where they congregate—have unspoken rules, too. Publicly acknowledging financial losses is a valiant act, evidence of internal fortitude and belief in the group. You don’t take yourself seriously and you don’t police language. You are part of an army of “apes” or “retards.” You hold through the crashes, even if it means you might lose everything. And the bad guys are the short sellers, the market makers, and the Wall Street elites, in that order.</p>\n<p>The group action is not just for moral support. The trading strategy depends on people keeping up the buying pressure to force a short squeeze or to buy bullish options that trigger what’s known as a gamma squeeze.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/75d79c78a14cc8f297e17397cc54bdb5\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\"><span>Keith Gill became the face of the Reddit army of retail traders pushing shares of GameStop higher when he appeared virtually before a House Financial Services Committee hearing in February.</span></p>\n<p>Many short sellers say they won’t touch these stocks anymore. But clearly, others aren’t taking that advice and are giving the meme movement oxygen by repeatedly betting against the stocks. AMC’s short interest was at 17% of the stock’s float in mid-June, down from 28% in January, but not by much.</p>\n<p>As the price rises, the shorts can’t help themselves. They start “drooling, with flames coming out of their ears,” says Michael Pachter, a Wedbush Securities analyst who has covered GameStop for years. “What’s kind of shocked me is the definition of insanity, which is doing the same thing over and over and over again and hoping for a different outcome each time, and the shorts keep coming back,” he says. “And [GameStop bull] Keith Gill and his Reddit raiders keep squeezing them, and it keeps working.”</p>\n<p>To beat the short sellers, the Reddit crowd needs to hold together, but the community has been showing cracks at times. The two meme stocks with the most determined fan bases—GameStop and AMC—still have enormous armies of core believers who do not seem easily swayed. But other names seem to have more-fickle backers. Several stocks caught up in the meme madness have come crashing down to earth.Bed Bath & Beyond(BBBY) spiked twice—in late January and early June—but now trades only slightly above its mid-January levels. People who bought during the upswings have lost money.</p>\n<p>Distrust has spread, and some traders worry that wallstreetbets— the original Reddit message board that inspired the GameStop frenzy—has grown so fast that it has lost its original spirit, and potentially grown vulnerable to manipulation. Some have moved to other message boards, like r/superstonk, in hopes of reclaiming the old community’s flavor.</p>\n<p>Travis Rehl, the founder of social-media tracking company Hype Equity, says that he tries to separate possible manipulators from more organic investor sentiment. Hype Equity is usually hired by public-relations firms representing companies that are being talked about online, he says. Now, he sees a growing trend of stocks that suddenly come up on message boards, receive positive chatter, and then disappear.</p>\n<p>“It’s called into question what is a true discussion versus what is something that somebody just wants to pump,” he says. The moderators of wallstreetbets forbid market manipulation on the platform, and Rehl say they appear to work hard to police misinformation. The moderators did not respond to a request from Barron’s for comment.</p>\n<p>“If you can create enough buzz to get a stock that goes up 10%, 20%, even 50% in a short period of time, there’s a tremendous incentive to do that,” Sosnick says.</p>\n<p>The Securities and Exchange Commission is watching for funny business on the message boards. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and some members of Congress have discussed changing market rules with the intention of adding transparency protecting retail traders—although changes could also anger the retail crowd if they slow down trading or make it more expensive.</p>\n<p>Regulations aren’t the only thing that could deflate this trend. Dan Egan, vice president of behavioral finance and investing at fintech Betterment, thinks the momentum may run out of steam in September. Even “apes” have responsibilities. “Kids start going back to schools; parents are free to go to work again,” he says. “That’s the next time there’s going to be some oxygen pulled out of the room.”</p>\n<p>Traditional investors may be tempted to write off the entire phenomenon as temporary madness inspired by lockdowns and free government money. But that would be a mistake. If zero-commission brokerages and fun with GameStop broke down barriers for millions of new investors to open accounts, it’s almost certainly a good thing, as long as most people bet with money they don’t need immediately. Many new retail traders say they are teaching themselves how to trade, and have begun to diversify their holdings.</p>\n<p>In one form or another, this is the future client base of Wall Street.</p>\n<p>Arizona State University professor Hendrik Bessembinder published groundbreaking research in 2018 that found that “a randomly selected stock in a randomly selected month is more likely to lose money than make money.” In short, picking single stocks and holding a concentrated portfolio tends to be a losing strategy.</p>\n<p>Even so, he’s encouraged by the new wave of trading. “I welcome the increase in retail trading, the idea of the stock market being a place with wide participation,” Bessembinder says. “Economists can’t tell people they shouldn’t get some fun.”</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>The Meme Stock Trade Is Far From Over.

Sosnick believes that the meme stocks tend to trade inversely to cryptocurrencies, because their fans rotate from one to the other as the momentum shifts.\n“I don’t think it’s strictly a coincidence that meme stocks roared back to life after a significant correction in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” he wrote.\nSosnick considers meme stocks a “sector unto themselves,” one that he segregates on his computer monitor away from other stock tickers.\nIndeed, Wall Street’s reaction to the meme stock revolution has been to isolate the parts of the market that the pros deem irrational. Most short sellers won’t touch the stocks, and analysts are dropping coverage.\nBut Wall Street can’t swat the retail army away like cicadas, or count on them disappearing for the next 17 years. Stock trading has permanently shifted. This year, retail activity accounts for 24% of equity volume, up from 15% in 2019. Adherents to the new creed are not passive observers willing to let Wall Street manage the markets.\n\n“What this really reflects is a reversal of the trends that we saw toward less and less engagement with individual companies,” says Joshua Mitts, a professor at Columbia Law School specializing in securities markets. “Technology is bringing the average investor closer to the companies in which he or she invests, and that’s just taking on new and unpredictable forms.”\nThe swings you get can definitely make you feel some sort of way.\n— Matt Kohrs, 26, who streams stock analysis daily on YouTube\nIt is now changing the lives of those who got in early and are still riding the names higher.\nTake Matt Kohrs, who had invested in AMC Entertainment early. He quit his job as a programmer in New York in February, moved to Philadelphia, and started streaming stock analysis on YouTube for seven hours a day.\nWith 350,000 YouTube followers, it’s paying the bills. With his earnings from ads and from the stock, Kohrs says he can pull down roughly the same salary he made before. But he also knows that relying on earnings from stocks like this is nothing like a 9-to-5 job.\n“The swings you get can definitely make you feel some sort of way,” he says.\nCompanies are starting to react more aggressively, too. They are either embracing their new owners or paying meme-ologists to understand the emoji-filled language of the new Wall Street so they can ward them off or appease them.\nAMC even canceled a proposed equity raise this past week because the company apparently didn’t like the vibes it was getting from the Reddit crowd. AMC has already quintupled its share count over the past year. CEO Adam Aron tweeted that he had seen “many yes, many no” reactions to his proposal to issue 25 million more shares, so it will be canceled instead of being presented for a vote at AMC’s annual meeting later this month. The company did not respond to a question on how it had polled shareholders.\nForget the boardroom. Corporate policy is now being determined in the chat room.\nBig investors are spending more time tracking social-media discussions about stocks. Bank of America found in a survey this year that about 25% of institutions had already been tracking social-media sentiment, but that about 40% are interested in using it going forward.\nIn the past few months, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and J.P. Morgan have all produced reports on how to trade around the retail action, coming to somewhat different conclusions.\nThere can be “alpha in the signal,” as Morgan Stanley put it, but it can take some intense number-crunching to get there. Not all message-board chatter leads to sustained price gains, of course, and retail order flow cannot easily be separated from institutional flow without substantial data analysis. For investors with the tools to pinpoint which stocks retail investors are buying and which they are selling, J.P. Morgan suggests going long on the 20% of stocks with the most buying interest and short on the top 20% in selling interest.\nFor now, many of the institutions buying data on social-media sentiment appear to be trying to reduce their risks, as opposed to scouting new opportunities, according to Boris Spiwak of alternative data firm Thinknum, which offers products that track social-media sentiment. “They see it as almost like an insurance policy, to limit their downside risks,” he says.\nFor retail traders, the method isn’t always scientific. The action is sustained by a community ethos. And the force behind it is as much emotional and moral as financial.\nNew investors say they are motivated by a desire to prove themselves and punish the old guard as much as by profits. They learn from one another about the market, sometimes amplifying or debunking conspiracy theories about Wall Street. Some link the meme-stock movement to continued mistrust of big financial institutions stemming from the 2008 financial crisis.\n“Wall Street brought our economy to its knees, and no one ever got in trouble for it,” says the 26-year-old Kohrs. “So, I think they view this as not only can we make money, but we can also make these hedge funds on Wall Street pay.”\nClaire Hirschberg is a 28-year-old union organizer who bought about $50 worth of GameStop stock on Robinhood in January after hearing about it from friends. She liked the idea, but what really got her excited about it was the reaction of her father, a longtime money manager. “He was so mad I had bought GameStop and was refusing to sell,” she says, laughing. “And that just makes me want to hold it forever.”\nJust like old Wall Street has rituals and codes, the new one does, too. A new investment banking employee learns quickly that you don’t wear a Ferragamo tie until after you make associate. You never leave the office until the managing director does, and you don’t complain about the hours. And the bad guys are the regulators and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and not in that order.\nThe new trading desk—the apps that millions of retail traders now use and the message boards where they congregate—have unspoken rules, too. Publicly acknowledging financial losses is a valiant act, evidence of internal fortitude and belief in the group. You don’t take yourself seriously and you don’t police language. You are part of an army of “apes” or “retards.” You hold through the crashes, even if it means you might lose everything. And the bad guys are the short sellers, the market makers, and the Wall Street elites, in that order.\nThe group action is not just for moral support. The trading strategy depends on people keeping up the buying pressure to force a short squeeze or to buy bullish options that trigger what’s known as a gamma squeeze.\nKeith Gill became the face of the Reddit army of retail traders pushing shares of GameStop higher when he appeared virtually before a House Financial Services Committee hearing in February.\nMany short sellers say they won’t touch these stocks anymore. But clearly, others aren’t taking that advice and are giving the meme movement oxygen by repeatedly betting against the stocks. AMC’s short interest was at 17% of the stock’s float in mid-June, down from 28% in January, but not by much.\nAs the price rises, the shorts can’t help themselves. They start “drooling, with flames coming out of their ears,” says Michael Pachter, a Wedbush Securities analyst who has covered GameStop for years. “What’s kind of shocked me is the definition of insanity, which is doing the same thing over and over and over again and hoping for a different outcome each time, and the shorts keep coming back,” he says. “And [GameStop bull] Keith Gill and his Reddit raiders keep squeezing them, and it keeps working.”\nTo beat the short sellers, the Reddit crowd needs to hold together, but the community has been showing cracks at times. The two meme stocks with the most determined fan bases—GameStop and AMC—still have enormous armies of core believers who do not seem easily swayed. But other names seem to have more-fickle backers. Several stocks caught up in the meme madness have come crashing down to earth.Bed Bath & Beyond(BBBY) spiked twice—in late January and early June—but now trades only slightly above its mid-January levels. People who bought during the upswings have lost money.\nDistrust has spread, and some traders worry that wallstreetbets— the original Reddit message board that inspired the GameStop frenzy—has grown so fast that it has lost its original spirit, and potentially grown vulnerable to manipulation. Some have moved to other message boards, like r/superstonk, in hopes of reclaiming the old community’s flavor.\nTravis Rehl, the founder of social-media tracking company Hype Equity, says that he tries to separate possible manipulators from more organic investor sentiment. Hype Equity is usually hired by public-relations firms representing companies that are being talked about online, he says. Now, he sees a growing trend of stocks that suddenly come up on message boards, receive positive chatter, and then disappear.\n“It’s called into question what is a true discussion versus what is something that somebody just wants to pump,” he says. The moderators of wallstreetbets forbid market manipulation on the platform, and Rehl say they appear to work hard to police misinformation. The moderators did not respond to a request from Barron’s for comment.\n“If you can create enough buzz to get a stock that goes up 10%, 20%, even 50% in a short period of time, there’s a tremendous incentive to do that,” Sosnick says.\nThe Securities and Exchange Commission is watching for funny business on the message boards. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and some members of Congress have discussed changing market rules with the intention of adding transparency protecting retail traders—although changes could also anger the retail crowd if they slow down trading or make it more expensive.\nRegulations aren’t the only thing that could deflate this trend. Dan Egan, vice president of behavioral finance and investing at fintech Betterment, thinks the momentum may run out of steam in September. Even “apes” have responsibilities. “Kids start going back to schools; parents are free to go to work again,” he says. “That’s the next time there’s going to be some oxygen pulled out of the room.”\nTraditional investors may be tempted to write off the entire phenomenon as temporary madness inspired by lockdowns and free government money. But that would be a mistake. If zero-commission brokerages and fun with GameStop broke down barriers for millions of new investors to open accounts, it’s almost certainly a good thing, as long as most people bet with money they don’t need immediately. Many new retail traders say they are teaching themselves how to trade, and have begun to diversify their holdings.\nIn one form or another, this is the future client base of Wall Street.\nArizona State University professor Hendrik Bessembinder published groundbreaking research in 2018 that found that “a randomly selected stock in a randomly selected month is more likely to lose money than make money.” In short, picking single stocks and holding a concentrated portfolio tends to be a losing strategy.\nEven so, he’s encouraged by the new wave of trading. “I welcome the increase in retail trading, the idea of the stock market being a place with wide participation,” Bessembinder says. “Economists can’t tell people they shouldn’t get some fun.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":138,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":818964682,"gmtCreate":1630371349046,"gmtModify":1704959225271,"author":{"id":"4087554958389370","authorId":"4087554958389370","name":"suetyee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd19cd2dd51b79773e0fab6bfd14cd60","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087554958389370","idStr":"4087554958389370"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/818964682","repostId":"1190904324","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":210,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":834252708,"gmtCreate":1629809404904,"gmtModify":1631892089296,"author":{"id":"4087554958389370","authorId":"4087554958389370","name":"suetyee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd19cd2dd51b79773e0fab6bfd14cd60","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087554958389370","idStr":"4087554958389370"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm","listText":"Hmm","text":"Hmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/834252708","repostId":"2161808519","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":254,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":179773948,"gmtCreate":1626581112184,"gmtModify":1633925692914,"author":{"id":"4087554958389370","authorId":"4087554958389370","name":"suetyee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd19cd2dd51b79773e0fab6bfd14cd60","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087554958389370","idStr":"4087554958389370"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/179773948","repostId":"2152968147","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2152968147","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1626555600,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2152968147?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-18 05:00","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Battery tycoon charges ahead in wealth rankings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2152968147","media":"The Straits Times","summary":"(BLOOMBERG) - Looks like selling car batteries is a better business than e-commerce and fintech comb","content":"<div>\n<p>(BLOOMBERG) - Looks like selling car batteries is a better business than e-commerce and fintech combined.\nAfter all, Dr Zeng Yuqun, founder of the world's biggest electric-vehicle battery maker, has ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.straitstimes.com/business/invest/battery-tycoon-charges-ahead-in-wealth-rankings\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"straits_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

It is up about 60 per cent this year alone as demand for electric vehicles increases, countries work to reduce carbon emissions and costs tumble.\nCATL trades at more than 100 times estimated earnings, compared with about 13 times for its competitor Panasonic.\nIn addition to Tesla, CATL counts BMW and Volkswagen among its customers.\nIn an interview last year, Dr Zeng said he and Tesla chief executive officer Elon Musk text about technology, Covid-19 and Mr Musk's main interest: cheaper batteries and cars.\nDr Zeng, who earned his doctorate in condensed matter physics from the Chinese Academy of Science in Beijing, is not the only billionaire who is benefiting from the surge in CATL's stock. Mr Huang Shilin, a vice-chairman of the company, is worth more than US$21 billion, while Mr Li Ping, who is also a vice-chairman, has a fortune worth US$8.5 billion.\nAs Dr Zeng's star rises, Mr Ma's has been on the wane. The value of Mr Ma's fintech arm Ant Group has plummeted since the former English teacher openly pushed back against Beijing, prompting the Chinese authorities to quash the company's plans for a huge initial public offering. Mr Ma, 56, has all but dropped from public view, and has lost US$2.5 billion in wealth this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":26,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":149154416,"gmtCreate":1625711008135,"gmtModify":1633938108538,"author":{"id":"4087554958389370","authorId":"4087554958389370","name":"suetyee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd19cd2dd51b79773e0fab6bfd14cd60","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087554958389370","idStr":"4087554958389370"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Cry] oh no..","listText":"[Cry] oh no..","text":"[Cry] oh no..","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/149154416","repostId":"1139964769","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1139964769","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625703496,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1139964769?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-08 08:18","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"As meme stock momentum fades, AMC, GameStop fall","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1139964769","media":"Reuters","summary":"July 7 (Reuters) - Shares in so-called meme stocks with a following among retail investors lost grou","content":"<p>July 7 (Reuters) - Shares in so-called meme stocks with a following among retail investors lost ground on Wednesday, with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">AMC Entertainment</a>(AMC.N)shares down 8.1%, on track for their fourth straight day of declines, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GME\">GameStop</a> Corp(GME.N)falling 4.9%.</p>\n<p>AMC, which fell almost 12% in the previous three sessions, hit a record high of $72.62 in early June as members of social media platforms including <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> and Reddit's WallStreetBets urged each other to buy the stock.</p>\n<p>The cinema operator, which on Tuesday scrapped a shareholder approval request for an increase in the number of shares outstanding, was trading at $45.91 after breaching its 30-day moving average.</p>\n<p>AMC was still up about 2254% year-to-date but well below its 3624% peak gain.</p>\n<p>Shares in video game retailer GameStop traded at $189.79, compared with its Jan. 28 record of $483 when investors betting against the stock were forced to buy it to cover their bets as retail investors piled in.</p>\n<p>GameStop shares have steadily declined since it announced quarterly results and flagged upcoming share sales in early June.

It was last up 906% for the year-so-far compared with a roughly 2464% peak gain.\n\"The momentum is fading and the enthusiasm is fading,\" said Michael O’Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading in Stamford, Connecticut. \"They've been pushed well beyond the appropriate fundamental valuation levels so we're starting to see some air come out.\"\nSome other stocks such as Newegg Commerce(NEGG.O), up 120.0%, and Data Storage Corp(DTST.O), up 39.0%, were in demand on Wednesday as they took their turn in the spotlight on forums such as Stocktwits.\nBut other recent retail favorites were losing steam rapidly with Bsquare(BSQR.O)down 29.8% and Orbsat Corp(OSAT.O)down 12.1%.\n\"Yes people have made money but I also think there's a lot of retail investors that have lost a lot of money being involved in those names,\" said O'Rourke. \"The most recent rally has run it's course. I cannot predict the future but I do think the longer this goes on the idea becomes less compelling.\"\nMeanwhile on Reddit's WallStreetBets forum, some investors sounded anxious\n\"Memes pls fly,\" wrote user Twoverybigwords00.\nReporting By Sinéad Carew Editing by Sonya Hepinstall Editing by Sonya Hepinstall","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":75,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
